As the night grew darker as a fierce battle passed, a large mass of corpses and blood, as well as mutilated limbs and broken siege equipment were left in front of Blackstone. The sparks from the magic crystal cannon were still burning, not all of them turned to ashes.

The soldiers who were squatting in the corners of the city wall to take shelter from the cold wind were still echoing the earth-shattering screams and roaring cannons in their ears at this moment, and their fiery red eyes filled their eyes, and they gnawed the bread in their hands to hide the waves in their hearts. As Rice thought, the hostile mentality of the Celts and Germans was that they broke out into great failure, and although they did not achieve much success on the top of the city several times, they had a great impact on the soldiers who defended the city.

The first offensive was already so ferocious, but what about after that? As Rice said, what would happen if the north and south cities were to attack the city at the same time? These defenders of Black Rock City would not have much chance of participating in the war in their lives, could they really withstand these strong forces that had just come down from the battlefield? The most important thing is that it was worth it to die for this emperor who was not destined to end well?

This game of chess was smashed by Ladd, who was obviously standing righteous, but in the end ended up in a lonely city.

"Smith, do you think we can withstand it, this Rice is too fierce. Looking at the situation, it is whimsical for us to resist the offensive of Rice's Northern Front. One whispered. The squad leader named Smith beside him frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother Smith, are you talking? This northern city should be in your hands, right, what is Octavian? Just sit directly on your head big brother, brothers are really not worth it. Another grumbled quietly.

Smith raised his head, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Are you trying to persuade me to surrender to this Rice? Now that the situation is still unclear, do you think that our family is still in the Blackstone Imperial Capital, in case the matter is revealed......

"Big brother, you are confused, haven't you seen the situation yet? Why has Grand Duke Hoover been sitting in Black Rock City? Isn't it just waiting for this day, don't forget the relationship between Hoover and Rice. This Ladd's time is running out, and now he is just holding on, sooner or later he will have to hand over all this power, if we can help Rice to ascend to the throne, how can we be a hero, maybe in the future, I can still mix him with a county? A county consul, there is no need to be here every day under the city wall. The man whispered, tightening his clothes, and there was a knife wound on his chest that had just been inflicted by an enemy.

"I know the intentions of the brothers, but this matter is too late, let's wait, look at the order of my Majesty Wang, I don't think Your Majesty has a reason to use swords in the black stone. Smith said softly, looking a little lonely, he thought about the two groups of people, the Dixing Dragoon Regiment and the Griffin Knights, the army controlled by the royal family has not moved at the moment, and there are still a dozen in this battle.

The messengers defending the city rushed to Louis Royal's inner city in waves, bringing the latest war developments to Louis XIV the Great as soon as possible, the young emperor had just succeeded to the throne for less than two months, and the whole situation was a mess, but no one expected.

Louis XIV sat in his study, tapping his fingers on the tabletop, his brow twisted into a twisted ball. No one knew what the young emperor was thinking at the moment, he was like a piece of rice paper splashed with ink, gloomy and terrifying. This oppressive scene lasted for so long in this spacious study that the treasurer of the Blackstone Empire did not notice it when he stood beside him.

"Your Majesty. Hart Wiley whispered.

After Hart Willy's call, the young Louis XIV the Great retracted his dismal face and looked at Hart Willy, and said softly: "Teacher Hart, you are here." ”

Hart Willie also shrugged his shoulders helplessly and sat beside him and said: "I finally learned that they didn't rebel for three years for the scholars, because no matter how hard we tried, we didn't have enough troops, and we had to become food rations for others in the end, sad! We have learned a lesson......

"Teacher Hart, isn't the price of our lesson a little too great......" Emperor Louis XIV said in a deep voice: "Now whenever I close my eyes, it seems that I can see many dead soldiers wandering around in front of my eyes, and my mind is full of bright red!

"No, I must do better than them!" Louis XIV whispered, his face full of hideousness.

"Yes, you're going to do better than them! But we still lost, we lost a mess when we wrestled our wrists. Hart Willie began.

"No, I didn't lose, I still have the Griffon Knights and the Earthwalking Dragon Knights, we still have so many soldiers, the Guards and the Crystal Cannon, Blackstone has the most adequate armament in the entire empire, we can resist his attacks and even counterattack. Louis XIV roared.

Hart Willy looked at him and felt a pain in his heart, the gentle and elegant Seventh Prince no longer existed, at the moment he was just an emperor who had been cornered, his young body was under too much pressure, if he really fought this disaster as he said, he would definitely become an excellent emperor, but could such a dream be realized? Ladd was at a dead end at the moment, and Mario and Rice were fighting against each other.

The wise Imperial Chancellor of Finance picked up the teapot, brought a cup of tea that had already cooled to Louis the Great, pushed it in front of him, and said softly: "Perhaps, we were wrong in the first place. We're not fighting Rice and Mario. We are fighting with Mullin, Guineas, Trensu. All of this is fueled by outsiders that makes you three brothers so desperate. Ladd, while there is still a chance to stop now, if we continue to fight, the black stone will be reduced to a pie, in that case we will really become sinners through the ages, and it is better to hand over the black stone to the two of them than to destroy it in our hands. ”

"But I'm not reconciled, why don't they see me better than them?" roared Louis XIV, his eyes red.

Hart Willie sighed for a moment, then sat down and whispered, "When I was very young, a distant friend gave my father a delicate and small porcelain horse, saying that it was a gift for my father's child, but he did not know that my father already had two children. My brother and I were so fond of this porcelain horse that we even started to do it. In the end, my father smashed the porcelain horse in front of my two brothers and left, saying "stupid to the extreme", I still hated my father very much, but as I grew older, I realized my father's good intentions. I don't think the old emperor would want your three brothers to make such a fuss if he was still there at the moment. ”

The words of the finance minister caused the young emperor to fall into deep contemplation.

"That's all I have to say, Ladd, think about it. Men should win the start of losing, at this moment you call the two of them over as the backbone of the reconciliation, push one person to the position, the turmoil in Blackstone can end without breaking the bones, we still have the strength to resist foreign enemies, if the war continues to beat Blackstone City to ruins, I think the empire of Blackstone will disappear from the Atlanta continent, and our glory will never exist. Hart Willie threw out a bunch of heartfelt words unhurriedly, and turned away, leaving the young emperor with plenty of time to think and choose.

Sitting in his study, Louis XIV held the delicate quill pen tightly and gently stroked the gilded rustic snail at the end of the pen with his thumb, which had accompanied his father for most of his life. At this moment, Louis XIV wanted to ask his father whether he had really done wrong? Louis XIV drafted many outlines and rules for governing the country, from farming and industry to smelting armaments, and how many nights he woke up from his dream of the mighty and incomparable Blackstone Empire, and all this seemed to have really become a dream.

If Ladd clung to this dream any longer, Blackstone would have disappeared from the Atlantic continent as his teacher had said, and that kind of thing was definitely not what the three brothers wanted to see.

The corners of Ladd's mouth hooked up a childlike smile, and his thoughts gradually returned to the time of innocence, when they did not know what was going on outside the Imperial City, and they were often stumbled by the old lady because of the poor learning of aristocratic etiquette, and at that time they would work together to add laxatives to the old lady's tea......

But now the more we grow up, the more troubled we become, and sometimes grasping our ideals and ambitions too tightly is the source of our troubles.

Ladd put his right hand in front of him, looked at the fist that had been clenched all night and was blue, smiled without any burden at the moment, and blew lightly towards the fist, the tight fist slowly unfolded, and there was a feeling like a flower butterfly fluttering.

Ladd, who had stripped away all the knots in his heart, stood up and shouted, "Someone!"

An attendant hurriedly walked in from the doorman, bowed his head and said, "My subordinates are here!"

"Tell me the word and open the gates of the city to welcome the two princes into the city!" Louis XIV was in high spirits.
